have reviewed the revised landscape plan (dated 4/25/07) for Manley Commercial and have the following
comments:
1. More greenspace has been added on the east side in the form of a large planting bed (rain. garden type)
between the parking lot and the road. This was added apparently in response to watershed district
comments. This is a positive feature and will be a very attractive and functional addition to the plan.
2. The plant species to be used are good choices for the site and are lardy, vigorous, and relatively free of
insect and disease problems which might limit their usefulness in the landscape.
3. The 'Planting Detail' is good and the installation contractor must adhere to the planting detail
specifications. Trees and shrubs will be inspected after planting and, if they have not been planted
correctly, the contractor will be required to return and re-plant trees and shrubs according to detail
specifications.
If you have any questions regarding this report, please contact me. Please forward a copy of this review to
the developer.
